Antiviral Treatment Alters the Frequency of Activating and Inhibitory Receptor-Expressing Natural Killer Cells in Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infected Patients by Juan Lv, Qinglong Jin, Haibo Sun, Xiumei Chi, Xiaoli Hu, Hongqing Yan, Yu Pan, Weihua Xiao, Zhigang Tian, Jinlin Hou, Damo Xu, Zhengkun Tu, Junqi Niu

“…Our results demonstrate that treatment with tenofovir leads to viral load reduction, and correlated with NK cell frequencies in peripheral blood of chronic hepatitis B virus infection. In addition, treatments with both tenofovir and adefovir in chronic HBV infected patients induce a decrease of the frequency of inhibitory receptor+ NK cells, which may account for the partial restoration of the function of NK cells in peripheral blood following treatment.…”
